A warm, but not hot day for early July so we decided to try a water hole in the desert called Alder Springs deep in a desert Canyon. north of Bend. It was a rough drive in and very desert dry at the parking lot so we weren't sure what to expect. We hiked in and down into the Canyon for a couple miles and found this beautiful hidden spot on the creek where we swam and played for the afternoon.
